Created Idea SDK - now get Startup error with plugin

I looked into this further. The first exception

[    252]  ERROR - ation.impl.ApplicationInfoImpl - Argument 0 for @NotNull parameter of com/intellij/openapi/util/JDOMUtil.loadDocument must not be null

occurs because of a problem in getShadowInstance() in ApplicationInfoImpl.java at line 299.

ApplicationInfoImpl.class.getResourceAsStream returns null when called with the argument -  /idea/IdeaApplicationInfo.xml

For some reason it can't find IdeaApplicationInfo.xml. I checked and resource.jar which contains this file is added to the sdk path.

Any idea why this is happening?

Also should intellij still be able to start if this file is not found?

thanks
Siddharth

Hello Siddharth,

I don't quite understand what exactly you're trying to do. If you're trying
to debug IDEA and your plugin together, you shouldn't use an IDEA SDK at
all - just add the plugin module to the IDEA project.

I created an IDEA sdk (in out/deploy) and am trying to run a plugin
with it (in IDEA). I get the following error. What might be going
wrong?

  ERROR - ation.impl.ApplicationInfoImpl - Argument 0 for
@NotNull parameter of com/intellij/openapi/util/JDOMUtil.loadDocument
must not be null

Thanks Dmitry,

That seems a reasonable way to go about it. I did the following steps.

• Added the plugin as a module in the IDEA project
• Added dependencies of this module on all other modules...

I now get the following error

Wrong jdk type for plugin module 'GooglePlugin'.

Essentially GooglePlugin expects to be built using an IDEA sdk whereas I have just provided a JDK with all the sources needed to build IDEA. Theoretically this should build but I guess the plugin is designed to be compiled using a IDEA sdk...How should I go about this? What am I missing?

Siddharth

Hello Siddharth,

For such a configuration, you need to create a separate .iml file (of type
Java module, rather than Plugin module), and add that to the IDEA project.

Hi Dmitry,

K... I changed the module to JAVA  (from plugin)... How do I actually go about starting IDEA with the plugin enabled. Is there a configuration file somewhere?

While my plugin can compile successfully, I don't get it in the plugin list when IDEA starts

thanks
Siddharth

Hello Siddharth,

Add your module to the dependencies of the 'community-main' module.
